                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 438]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 438, by a record vote of 8 to 4, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of the Senate 
amendment to H.R. 2206. The resolution makes in order a motion 
by the Chairman of the Committee of Appropriations to concur in 
the Senate amendment with each of the two House amendments 
printed in this report. The rule waives all points of order 
against the motion and provides that the Senate amendment and 
the motion shall be considered as read. The rule provides one 
hour of debate on the motion equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Appropriations. The rule also provides that the Chair shall 
divide the question of adoption of the motion between the two 
House amendments and if both amendments are adopted, they will 
be engrossed into a single amendment to the Senate amendment to 
H.R. 2206. The rule provides that the Chair may postpone 
further consideration of the motion to a time designated by the 
Speaker.
    The rule further provides that during consideration in the 
Committee of the Whole of a bill making FY08 supplemental 
appropriations for military operations in Iraq or Afghanistan, 
before consideration of any other amendment, it shall be in 
order to consider an amendment only proposing to add to the 
bill the text of H.R. 2451. Such amendment shall be considered 
as read, shall not be amendable or divisible. All points of 
order against such amendment are waived except for clause 9 of 
rule XXI. The rule provides that section 4(a) of the resolution 
does not apply to a regular FY08 Department of Defense 
appropriations bill.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The Committee is not aware of any points of order against 
the motion. The waiver of all points of order against the 
motion is prophylactic in nature.

  Sec. 6901. (a) Hereafter, funds limited or appropriated for 
the Department of Transportation may be obligated or expended 
to grant authority to a Mexico-domiciled motor carrier to

        of a pilot program;
          (2) such pilot program complies with the requirements 
        of section 350 of Public Law 107-87 and the 
        requirements of section 31315(c) of title 49, United 
        States Code, related to pilot programs; and
          (3) simultaneous and comparable authority to operate

          (1) the Inspector General of the Department of 
        Transportation shall transmit to Congress and the 
        Secretary of Transportation a report verifying 
        compliance with each of the requirements of subsection

        in Mexico that are granted authority to operate beyond 
        the United States municipalities and commercial zones 
        on the United States-Mexico border and to ensure 
        compliance with such laws and regulations; and

                        after the date of enactment of this Act 
                        of motor carriers domiciled in Mexico 
                        that are granted authority to operate 
                        beyond the United States municipalities

                        365.501(b) of title 49, Code of Federal 
                        Regulations;
                          (iv) specific standards to be used to 
                        evaluate the pilot program and compare 
                        any change in the level of motor 
                        carrier safety as a result of the pilot 
                        program; and
                          (v) a list of Federal motor carrier 
                        safety laws and regulations, including 
                        the commercial drivers license 
                        requirements, for which the Secretary 
                        of Transportation will accept 
                        compliance with a corresponding Mexican 
                        law or regulation as the equivalent to 
                        compliance with the United States law 
                        or regulation, including for each law 
                        or regulation an analysis as to how the 
                        corresponding United States and Mexican 
                        laws and regulations differ.
  (c) During and following the pilot program described in 
subsection (a), the Inspector General of the Department of 
Transportation shall monitor and review the conduct of the 
pilot program and submit to Congress and the Secretary of 
Transportation an interim report, 6 months after the 
commencement of the pilot program, and a final report, within 
60 days after the conclusion of the pilot program. Such reports 
shall address whether--
          (1) the Secretary of Transportation has established 
        sufficient mechanisms to determine whether the pilot 
        program is having any adverse effects on motor carrier 
        safety;
          (2) Federal and State monitoring and enforcement 
        activities are sufficient to ensure that participants 
        in the pilot program are in compliance with all 
        applicable laws and regulations; and
          (3) the pilot program consists of a representative 
        and adequate sample of Mexico-domiciled carriers likely 
        to engage in cross-border operations beyond United 
        States municipalities and commercial zones on the 
        United States-Mexico border.
  (d) In the event that the Secretary of Transportation in any 
fiscal year seeks to grant operating authority for the purpose 
of initiating cross-border operations beyond United States 
municipalities and commercial zones on the United States-Mexico 
border either with Mexico-domiciled motor coaches or Mexico-
domiciled commercial motor vehicles carrying placardable 
quantities of hazardous materials, such activities shall be 
initiated only after the conclusion of a separate pilot program 
limited to vehicles of the pertinent type. Each such separate 
pilot program shall follow the same requirements and processes 
stipulated under subsections (a) through (c) of this section 
and shall be planned, conducted and evaluated in concert with 
the Department of Homeland Security or its Inspector General, 
as appropriate, so as to address any and all security concerns 
associated with such cross-border operations.

                   TITLE IX--AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANCE

SEC. 9001. CROP DISASTER ASSISTANCE.

  (a) Assistance Available.--There are hereby appropriated to 
the Secretary of Agriculture such sums as are necessary, to 
remain available until expended, to make emergency financial 
assistance available to producers on a farm that incurred 
qualifying quantity or quality losses for the 2005, 2006, or 
2007 crop, due to damaging weather or any related condition 
(including losses due to crop diseases, insects, and delayed 
planting), as determined by the Secretary. However, to be 
eligible for assistance, the crop subject to the loss must have 
been planted before February 28, 2007, or, in the case of 
prevented planting or other total loss, would have been planted 
before February 28, 2007, in the absence of the damaging 
weather or any related condition.
  (b) Election of Crop Year.--If a producer incurred qualifying 
crop losses in more than one of the 2005, 2006, or 2007 crop 
years, the producer shall elect to receive assistance under 
this section for losses incurred in only one of such crop 
years. The producer may not receive assistance under this 
section for more than one crop year.
  (c) Administration.--
          (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
        the Secretary of Agriculture shall make assistance 
        available under this section in the same manner as 
        provided under section 815 of the Agriculture, Rural 
        Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related 
        Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106-387; 
        114 Stat. 1549A-55), including using the same loss 
        thresholds for quantity and economic losses as were 
        used in administering that section, except that the 
        payment rate shall be 42 percent of the established 
        price, instead of 65 percent.
          (2) Loss thresholds for quality losses.--In the case 
        of a payment for quality loss for a crop under 
        subsection (a), the loss thresholds for quality loss 
        for the crop shall be determined under subsection (d).
  (d) Quality Losses.--
          (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (3), the amount 
        of a payment made to producers on a farm for a quality 
        loss for a crop under subsection (a) shall be equal to 
        the amount obtained by multiplying--
                  (A) 65 percent of the payment quantity 
                determined under paragraph (2); by
                  (B) 42 percent of the payment rate determined 
                under paragraph (3).
          (2) Payment quantity.--For the purpose of paragraph 
        (1)(A), the payment quantity for quality losses for a 
        crop of a commodity on a farm shall equal the lesser 
        of--
                  (A) the actual production of the crop 
                affected by a quality loss of the commodity on 
                the farm; or
                  (B) the quantity of expected production of 
                the crop affected by a quality loss of the 
                commodity on the farm, using the formula used 
                by the Secretary of Agriculture to determine 
                quantity losses for the crop of the commodity 
                under subsection (a).
          (3) Payment rate.--For the purpose of paragraph 
        (1)(B) and in accordance with paragraphs (5) and (6), 
        the payment rate for quality losses for a crop of a 
        commodity on a farm shall be equal to the difference 
        between--
                  (A) the per unit market value that the units 
                of the crop affected by the quality loss would 
                have had if the crop had not suffered a quality 
                loss; and
                  (B) the per unit market value of the units of 
                the crop affected by the quality loss.
          (4) Eligibility.--For producers on a farm to be 
        eligible to obtain a payment for a quality loss for a 
        crop under subsection (a), the amount obtained by 
        multiplying the per unit loss determined under 
        paragraph (1) by the number of units affected by the 
        quality loss shall be at least 25 percent of the value 
        that all affected production of the crop would have had 
        if the crop had not suffered a quality loss.
          (5) Marketing contracts.--In the case of any 
        production of a commodity that is sold pursuant to one 
        or more marketing contracts (regardless of whether the 
        contract is entered into by the producers on the farm 
        before or after harvest) and for which appropriate 
        documentation exists, the quantity designated in the 
        contracts shall be eligible for quality loss assistance 
        based on the one or more prices specified in the 
        contracts.
          (6) Other production.--For any additional production 
        of a commodity for which a marketing contract does not 
        exist or for which production continues to be owned by 
        the producer, quality losses shall be based on the 
        average local market discounts for reduced quality, as 
        determined by the appropriate State committee of the 
        Farm Service Agency.
          (7) Quality adjustments and discounts.--The 
        appropriate State committee of the Farm Service Agency 
        shall identify the appropriate quality adjustment and 
        discount factors to be considered in carrying out this 
        subsection, including--
                  (A) the average local discounts actually 
                applied to a crop; and
                  (B) the discount schedules applied to loans 
                made by the Farm Service Agency or crop 
                insurance coverage under the Federal Crop 
                Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
          (8) Eligible production.--The Secretary of 
        Agriculture shall carry out this subsection in a fair 
        and equitable manner for all eligible production, 
        including the production of fruits and vegetables, 
        other specialty crops, and field crops.
  (e) Payment Limitations.--
          (1) Limit on amount of assistance.--Assistance 
        provided under this section to a producer for losses to 
        a crop, together with the amounts specified in 
        paragraph (2) applicable to the same crop, may not 
        exceed 95 percent of what the value of the crop would 
        have been in the absence of the losses, as estimated by 
        the Secretary of Agriculture.
          (2) Other payments.--In applying the limitation in 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall include the 
        following:
                  (A) Any crop insurance payment made under the 
                Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et 
                seq.) or payment under section 196 of the 
                Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act 
                of 1996 (7 U.S.C. 7333) that the producer 
                receives for losses to the same crop.
                  (B) The value of the crop that was not lost 
                (if any), as estimated by the Secretary.
  (f) Eligibility Requirements and Limitations.--The producers 
on a farm shall not be eligible for assistance under this 
section with respect to losses to an insurable commodity or 
noninsurable commodity if the producers on the farm--
          (1) in the case of an insurable commodity, did not 
        obtain a policy or plan of insurance for the insurable 
        commodity under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 
        U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) for the crop incurring the losses;
          (2) in the case of a noninsurable commodity, did not 
        file the required paperwork, and pay the administrative 
        fee by the applicable State filing deadline, for the

        Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7

        farm submit to the Secretary a completed application 
        for the payments.
          (2) Interest.--If the Secretary does not make 
        payments to the producers on a farm by the date 
        described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall pay to 
        the producers on a farm interest on the payments at a 
        rate equal to the current (as of the sign-up deadline 
        established by the Secretary) market yield on

          ``National Guard Personnel, Army'', $13,183,000.
          ``Defense Health Program'', $26,817,000.
  Sec. 1314. (a) Findings Regarding Progress in Iraq, the 
Establishment of Benchmarks to Measure That Progress, and 
Reports to Congress.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Over 145,000 American military personnel are 
        currently serving in Iraq, like thousands of others 
        since March 2003, with the bravery and professionalism 
        consistent with the finest traditions of the United 
        States Armed Forces, and are deserving of the strong 
        support of all Americans.
          (2) Many American service personnel have lost their 
        lives, and many more have been wounded in Iraq; the 
        American people will always honor their sacrifice and 
        honor their families.
          (3) The United States Army and Marine Corps, 
        including their Reserve components and National Guard 
        organizations, together with components of the other 
        branches of the military, are performing their missions 
        while under enormous strain from multiple, extended 
        deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. These deployments, 
        and those that will follow, will have a lasting impact 
        on future recruiting, retention, and readiness of our 
        Nation's all volunteer force.
          (4) Iraq is experiencing a deteriorating problem of 
        sectarian and intrasectarian violence based upon 
        political distrust and cultural differences among 
        factions of the Sunni and Shia populations.
          (5) Iraqis must reach political and economic 
        settlements in order to achieve reconciliation, for 
        there is no military solution. The failure of the 
        Iraqis to reach such settlements to support a truly 
        unified government greatly contributes to the 
        increasing violence in Iraq.
          (6) The responsibility for Iraq's internal security 
        and halting sectarian violence rests with the sovereign 
        Government of Iraq.
          (7) In December 2006, the bipartisan Iraq Study Group 
        issued a valuable report, suggesting a comprehensive 
        strategy that includes new and enhanced diplomatic and 
        political efforts in Iraq and the region, and a change 
        in the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq, that 
        will enable the United States to begin to move its 
        combat forces out of Iraq responsibly.
          (8) The President said on January 10, 2007, that 
        ``I've made it clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq's 
        other leaders that America's commitment is not open-
        ended'' so as to dispel the contrary impression that 
        exists.
          (9) It is essential that the sovereign Government of 
        Iraq set out measurable and achievable benchmarks and 
        President Bush said, on January 10, 2007, that 
        ``America will change our approach to help the Iraqi 
        government as it works to meet these benchmarks''.
          (10) As reported by Secretary of State Rice, Iraq's 
        Policy Committee on National Security agreed upon a set 
        of political, security, and economic benchmarks and an 
        associated timeline in September 2006 that were (A) 
        reaffirmed by Iraq's Presidency Council on October 6, 
        2006; (B) referenced by the Iraq Study Group; and (C) 
        posted on the President of Iraq's Web site.
          (11) On April 21, 2007, Secretary of Defense Robert 
        Gates stated that ``our [American] commitment to Iraq 
        is long-term, but it is not a commitment to have our 
        young men and women patrolling Iraq's streets open-
        endedly'' and that ``progress in reconciliation will be 
        an important element of our evaluation''.
          (12) The President's January 10, 2007 address had 
        three components: political, military, and economic. 
        Given that significant time has passed since his 
        statement, and recognizing the overall situation is 
        ever changing, Congress must have timely reports to 
        evaluate and execute its constitutional oversight 
        responsibilities.
  (b) Conditioning of Future United States Strategy in Iraq on 
the Iraqi Government's Record of Performance on Its 
Benchmarks.--
          (1) In general.--
                  (A) The United States strategy in Iraq, 
                hereafter, shall be conditioned on the Iraqi 
                government meeting benchmarks, as told to 
                members of Congress by the President, the 
                Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, 
                and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
                and reflected in the Iraqi Government's 
                commitments to the United States, and to the 
                international community, including:
                          (i) Forming a Constitutional Review

                        legislation to ensure the equitable 
                        distribution of hydrocarbon resources 
                        of the people of Iraq without regard to 
                        the sect or ethnicity of recipients, 
                        and enacting and implementing 
                        legislation to ensure that the energy 
                        resources of Iraq benefit Sunni Arabs, 
                        Shia Arabs, Kurds, and other Iraqi 
                        citizens in an equitable manner.
                          (iv) Enacting and implementing

                        autonomous regions.
                          (v) Enacting and implementing 
                        legislation establishing an Independent

                        authorities, and a date for provincial

                        legislation addressing amnesty.
                          (vii) Enacting and implementing 
                        legislation establishing a strong 
                        militia disarmament program to ensure 
                        that such security forces are 
                        accountable only to the central 
                        government and loyal to the

                        Baghdad Security Plan.
                          (ix) Providing three trained and

                        responsibility for maintaining the 
                        territorial integrity of Iraq, denying 
                        international terrorists a safe haven, 
                        and bringing greater security to Iraq's

                        capabilities, and logistics capacity of 
                        the ISF.
                          (iii) The likelihood that, given the 
                        ISF's record of preparedness to date, 
                        following years of training and 
                        equipping by U.S. forces, the continued 
                        support of U.S. troops will contribute 
                        to the readiness of the ISF to fulfill 
                        the missions outlined in clause (i).
